The “next big thing” in the news may well be war with Iran. Few want it, many warn against it and many more will suffer if it comes to pass. How can we forestall it? (NB: see Post #1 and go from there; see bottom of page.)

Post #339 - Consensus Forming

Meir Dagan, a former head of the
Israeli Intelligence service Mossad, says that an attack on Iran
would be the 'stupidest idea [I've] ever heard."

Speaking to "60 Minutes,"
Dagan said: "An attack on Iran now before exploring all other
approaches is not the right way how to do it [sic]."

Dagan, a man who Iranian authorities
reportedly claim has dispatched assassins, computer viruses and
faulty equipment in a bid to delay the country's nuclear program,
appears to have developed a surprising appreciation for the Islamic
Republic's regime - which is a sworn enemy of Israel.

The regime in Iran is a very rational
regime," according to Dagan. Asked if he felt the regime in Iran
was capable of backing down from an escalating crisis over the
country's nuclear program, he replied: "No doubt that the
Iranian regime is not exactly rational based on what I would call
'Western Thinking,' but no doubt they are considering all the
implications of their actions."

Dagan's interview is in stark contrast
to the opinions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who
appeared on 'Meet The Press' earlier. Netanyahu said that supporters
of the policy of 'containing' Iran and its nuclear ambitions "set
a new standard for human stupidity."
